Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.

If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

A tree and plaque commemorates those who lost their lives in the Wangary bushfire in 2005 and the significance of community support.

The Wangary Bushfire on the Lower Eyre Peninsula, killed nine people in 2005. The fire, known as Black Tuesday, also killed about 50,000 livestock, destroyed 93 homes and burnt through about 80,000 hectares.
